Spell Polish ~ Turn off the lights and I’ll glow

Here’s the other Spell Polish I received in my
latest monthly package from Norway Nails. It’s so much different than Troll
that I showed you in this post.

The formula is gloopy but not difficult to
apply anyway. It dries a little bit faster than average. At first I thought it
dried fast, but don’t let the dry looking surface fool you like it fooled me! I
wasn’t content before I had applied three coats. The polish dries up semi
matte, but I needed to apply a layer of topcoat to smooth out the little
irregularities I had. Oh, and I have to mention the smell too – it smells odd.
Not bad, just odd.

So here’s what three coats and a layer of
Essence Top Sealer looks like in the sun:

It was way more neon in real life, but it got
too much for the camera! :D

Here’s a picture from my lightbox. That shows
the neon just a little bit better.

And! This polish glows under UV light. I
haven’t got any UV-lamps though so I couldn’t take a picture of that. But it’s
also a glow in the dark-polish, so I obviously tested that out.

It’s my first attempt to take pictures of a
nail polish in the dark, so please bear with me, okay? Here it is:

Here's the matching card, that came with the polish:

The glow in the dark effect is not going to
keep you awake at night, but it’s cool that it’s there.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average

Finish: Neon that glows in
the dark and under UV-lights
Overall impression: I love the colour and I’d wear it just for that. Forget
about the glow in the dark, that’s not this polish’s greatest feature

What a bright and bold colour! I like these sorta shades. It is cool that it glows too - I've got the Essence glow in the night polish, that I must try at some point. Not really thought about how to photograph it though! :-)
